I think my biggest problem is that I'm a total control freak. I know what angles and lighting situations don't work for me and I avoid them like the plague. When friends start to take pictures of me in public, my reaction is like a vampire to crucifixes and garlic. Because I know that if I comply, the result will be a red-eyed, poorly-lit photo where I look like I've got a triple chin! That is how I look in all my official identification pictures, because government and university bureaucracies are cruel.
Wow, that's super bright! Looks great! The Dry Shampoo I bought was Klorane, I found it at Ulta, it's stupidly expensive (it cost me about 19 dollars) but it worked surprisingly well on my hair. I haven't tried it on bright red hair, but I assume that if people can use what is essentially white powder on dark brown hair without issue then it should work fine on red. I found this site which has reviews if you'd like to check out other options: http://dryshampooguide.com/dry-shampoo-reviews
Also, I heard that for keeping up brighter crazier colors you can mix a bit of those straight out of the tube dyes (like manic panic) with your conditioner to help keep the color from fading. This is the kind of information I would have liked in High School.
Thanks for all the hints/links! The protein filler I used seems to help a lot... it's made from wheat, somehow, and it smells like wheat paste, funnily enough.
I'm definitely going to check out dry shampoo. A friend of mine mentioned Bumble and Bumble's dry shampoo at one point, and they have it in red. I'll probably try several things out and see how they work.

I'm usually very camera-shy in real life. When someone pulls out a camera, I immediately begin to make awkward faces.
